It surprises me how they say the housing market is facing a tremendous slump; worst slump in history, prices falling, etc. Yet rental prices of apartments and private units are at their all-time high. I have been in way too many negotiations with the condo owners in Atlantic Station trying to get them to break a Sista off a good deal. The first one that gave in, the unit is smaller than where I live now, I would have to sell some more furniture just to fit into that one.
Then, the one I loved, rejected me because according to them, "another applicant showed up who made 4 times my pay." Consider if that were true - 4 times my pay needs to buy their own home NOT rent. People with my pay are buying their own home let alone 4 times of it. But I'll let that slide, it was either that lie or set themselves up for a discrimination lawsuit which they didn't want to do, so they thought they'd tell me a big fat lie.
Now, I am down to nothing. And to secure the big fat liars apartment I had to give my notice at current place so my apartment community will fill in the reference information. And every freaking day I have to hear that the housing market is having the worst slump in years. Tell that to the folks who won't let me lease at the ultra low rate that I can afford.
